Bachelor in Paradise stars Carly Waddell and Evan Bass, who are expecting their first child together, revealed their baby girl’s name in a couple of cute Instagram posts on Sunday, January 14.
“Evan and I are SO EXCITED to reveal our little angels name on the sweetest new born blanket from @shophighway3!” Waddell, 32, captioned a photo her husband cradling her baby bump as they posed beside a crib that had a pink blanket with the baby’s name on it. “Her full name will be Isabella (Bella for short) Evelyn Bass, and we love her so much already! Can’t believe in about one month we will be wrapping her up in this soft, cuddly little number!”
Bass, 35, also shared a photo taken in the nursery that showed him and Waddell holding a Cabbage Patch doll. “Well folks, I lost the battle to name our baby girl Evan but I won the war with the name: ‘Isabella Evelyn Bass,'” he wrote. “My sweet Grandma Bass was named Evelyn and she was the best and I hope that our daughter is fierce like her.”
The pair met on the set of Bachelor in Paradise and got engaged on the season 3 finale in September 2016, after the erectile dysfunction specialist proposed with a romantic speech.
“I want my kids to see a love like we have, and I want them to know an amazing woman like you are,” he told the former cruise ship singer. “Carly, I wanna chase after the fairy tales, and go on all of the adventures, and find all of the interesting things in this world to explore.… I wanna start a life with you.”
The couple wed in an intimate ceremony in Mexico in June 2017, with Bachelor host Chris Harrison officiating.
They announced that they were expecting their first child less than two months later.
